For the Herald.
AS many questions have been asked
about "The Woman's Home and Day
Nursery" lately established in ms
city. lat corner of Jefferson and Young
streets)-its organization, manage
ment, object and needs, the time now
seems fitting to make the desired eX-
PLANTATION, as on Thursday night next,
April l4th, the association will cele-
brate the first anniversary.
On this day an informal opening will
take place, reception overwhelmed
"Kallee Katsh"-a at which refresh
ments will be served, an entertaining
programme given and a pleasant time
promised generally. To this the cler-
py of the different denominations and
the public are cordirlly invited, not
only invited but urged 10 come and

this noblest and most efficient OF all
charities. No invitations will be IS
sued except the one here givcn-and
and which it is hoped will be largely
accented, for there cannot be too many
friends and helpers in such cause as
this.
"The Woman's Home was organ
lied one year ago, by the LADIES OF
Dallas. Notwithstanding no creed
but that of charity-its object; TO help
the worthy poor to help themselves, to
care for the sick AID to relieve suiler-
ing Gts cases being brought in many
forms): its needs-financial help, earn

with its members, in this far reaching
and practical benevolence.
"The Home" is for all deserving
needy women, place in which they
can find shelter, food, care and medi-

Home and Day Nursery an employ
ment bureau.
Out of these organizations has
grown the need of day nursery,
where helpless babes and young chill
dren can be left during the day, while
their mothers are away at work. Here
they are bathed, dressed in clean gar
ments, fed and tcnderly cared for until
taken home by their mothers at night.
In this way the mother, free from
care, knowing that her little ones are
receiving proper attention, wholesome
food and pure air, can DO her days
work with good heart, earning fair
wages. when otherwise she would be
helpless at home, her hands tied by the
care of her children (whom she would
so gladly scrve), and whom, if not as
sisted in this way, would be supported
by charity. For many OF these mothers
are widows or worse than widowed
land yet whose children must be cared
for)-and who love their little ones as
well as the mothers do whose children
are born under more favored 'circum-
stances.
For all this protection and care the
mothers are only taxed the small sun
of five cents per day, not so much foi
the moneys sake as to save their own
self respect, for these small sums &c
but little way toward dcfraying the
expenses of so great an undertaking.

Thus far the undertaking has been
successful. "Thc Home" paid for, and

forward, still more is necessary, and
assistance is earnestly requested and
looked for, both from old and new
friends. The association needs more
members to help them on with the
good work, both by earnest effort fl
nancial assistance, and contributions.
